The only place to legally get Netflix original content is to pay for Netflix so there is no reason they couldn’t just charge more for those shows. Just as you suggest ISPs can just start charging you more to access certain sites. Just it would be bad for Netflix if they charge more so it would be bad for the ISP. Now I understand that is some locations choices are limited, that is due to government protecting/granting monopolies. We could allow more competition to counter act this. Also we don’t know what the future will bring as far how we can get access to the internet maybe it’s wireless or someone else. In the 90s when people were freaking out about Microsoft no one could have predicted Android and iOS. And lastly if the ISPs did as you say they will then we could always revisit or better yet have the body charged by the Constitution to “regulate commerce” actually do that instead of these unelected agencies
